Scope of Works
In the process of the construction of the Nouveau Port de Tanger-Méditerranée, and specifically in order to accelerate the construction of its breakwaters and meet the project schedule, SRPTM needed to dump directly underwater in predetermined locations around 2,800,000 tons of rock material.

The works were completed according to schedule to the satisfaction of the Client.
